My post skipped and went to another reply. Just saying to disregard it. :)

I’m thinking there is a bad bacteria in there so I cleaned out most of the existing sand and put in brand new sand. I did sprinkle a little of parents sand around on top (just a handful) but this appears to be a bacterial issue. Nothing on the body so something internal. I have been using...

No, I just added new sand to the tank.

I just went in and found ths. Lost one yesterday too. Not sure what’s going on at this late stage. He was fine at noon feeding. Going to do a large water change.

Awww, so sorry.

Never mind. Found it but not familiar with it.

Is Fritzyme available in U.S.??? :)

If it’s older than 6 months then it’s a female.

Congrats, Circus. About time a cat won and yours is adorable!

I agree. After my disaster with a sorority tank, I don’t recommend them at all but you need at least a 20G long to do this.

The fish added the ammonia. :)

Your tank should be cycled by now. Do as Colin_T instructs. I don’t think you need to begin completely over again. Perhaps get some Tetra Safe Start + and add to the filter. Don’t use Prime for 24 hours after you do this. You can then start using Prime again to protect your fish after that...

Yes, we are trying to determine why. That’s why I asked to test tap water.

OP’s readings are within range so tank is cycled. Does appear to have a tad bit of nitrite though. Can you check your tap after to see what it s?
